Outlook “We have a good core group of seniors to lead the way on the field. We also have a good group of younger players to mix in. A new conference alignment will add a challenge for the team and show what we are made of. The girls have been working hard, and they know they always have a target on their back in the league, so they cannot afford to let down. We have a very challenging non-league schedule that will help to make us better.”
GAMES TO WATCH: Competing in the Katie Samson Festival is always a highlight of our season. It is an honor to be included in such an elite event. We raised money from our Jingle Bell Jog 5K, and our 4th Annual Cardinal Invitational that will go toward Spinal Cord Research and this year we will be playing Agnes Irwin in the festival.
Fun Fact: We will be travelling as a team to Avalon, New Jersey for some old-fashioned team bonding over Spring Break.
